No Surprise Here: ‘The Walking Dead’ Renewed For Fifth Season!

Briefly: Surprising nobody on the entire planet, AMC has just renewed the record-breaking series The Walking Dead for a fifth season.

“We are very happy to make what has to be one of the most anti-climactic renewal announcements ever:  The Walking Dead is renewed for a fifth season,” AMC president Charlie Collier stated today. “This is a show that has erased traditional distinctions between cable and broadcast. Its expanding base of passionate fans has grown every season, most recently – and most notably – with the season four premiere earlier this month, which broke viewership records for the series and became the biggest non-sports telecast in cable history. On behalf of the incredible team on both sides of the camera, thank you to the fans and here’s to more Dead.”

I haven’t had a chance to begin Season Four yet, but I’m hearing nothing but good things about it now that new showrunner Scott Gimple has taken over. Gimple is set to stay in his position through the newly-announced season.

What do you think of the news? Are you enjoying season four so far? Sound out below!
